Valley Spokesmen Touring Club Makes Donation to Bikeways Safety Program
Local non-profit bicycling organization Valley Spokesmen Touring Club was recognized by the Dublin City Council on Tuesday, January 19th, for their recent donation to the Dublin Bikeways Safety Program.
On Thursday, November 5th, 2009, Dublin Police Services received a letter with a check in the amount of $1,500 from Valley Spokesmen. The letter indicated that Valley Spokesmen wanted to provide the donation to support the Dublin Police Services’ “Bicycle Safety Program.” The funds were made available as a result of a profit the Valley Spokesmen made from their women’s only “Cinderella Classic/Challenge” bicycle tour in April 2009.
Dublin Police Services’ Crime Prevention Unit coordinates and sponsors several educational bicycle rodeo and safety events throughout the year. The events target Dublin youth and focus on bicycle and roadway safety. The donation allows Crime Prevention to purchase additional bicycle safety literature, bicycle helmets, roadway signage, obstacle course materials and bicycle maintenance tools and supplies. With these additional funds, the Crime Prevention Unit would be able to expand the bicycle safety program for the children in our community.
